Designed to Showcase Trophies | N House Piura

ByMyProperty Life

With its three elevated and cantilevered volumes clad in perforated Corten steel, the house offers a stunning view of the surrounding landscape of open fields and desert areas. Each elevated volume serves a different function and orientation; the first, on the side nearest to the horse training and exhibition field, the projecting structure forms a canopy above the terrace located next to the swimming pool; the second, which is the tallest volume, contains the master bedroom; and the last one contains the 3 guest bedrooms. Its distinctive features include generous social spaces, well-lit bedrooms, and a central staircase that not only connects the different levels but also serves as a platform to admire the trophies won in horse competitions, which are displayed on shelves around the void.

    REVEALING THE EVIDENCE Confrontation with the reality of these ruins was always a confrontation seeped in memories. Memories
    of a place where the raw matter it is constituted of – the rock, the valley and the mountain – shows evident expression, provoking a game of fine balance between place, matter, light and shadow. We found light that dripped down the stone walls defining spaces separated only by rows of stacked rock. In each fissure, in each wrinkle, a soft balance between light and shadow. Standing before this scenery, the exercise consisted in finding the most natural way to connect ruins and spaces, simultaneously defining future possibilities for links between the interior and the exterior. Where decisions were concerned, we chose to rehabilitate pre-existing volumes and introduce a new connecting element. The answer is given by the almost immediate decision to join together the pre-existing elements. This
    gesture, deeply connected to the terrain along the pendente – connects the two sections facing west,
    forming an exterior courtyard adorned with a centenary olive tree. This project builds a space that runs through the ruins, uniting them and revealing the obvious functional relationship between the house’s programmatic areas, simultaneously differentiating the possibilities for inhabiting the exterior space. It expresses its temporality through the antagonism of matter in its relationship with pre-existing elements.
